- Middle Roman Amphora 3
- Description
- Cylindrical toe. The base is slightly concave with a central button that comes below the outer edge, likely indicating that this vessel was not meant to stand on its own.
- Fabric, firing, and surface description
- Consistently fired slightly granular orange-red fabric has few inclusions, occasional very small rounded light “lime“, fewer tiny dark bits; slightly micaceous. Very thin matte slip slightly darker than fabric on all extant surfaces where not chipped or abraded.
- Preservation comment
- One large sherd preserves entire toe and lower part of base. Slight, sparse abrasion and scratching on surface and chipping around edges; worn edges; few specks of encrustation.
